A telehandler - otherwise known as a telescopic handler - is a lifting machine equipped with a telescopic boom and a lifting attachment, allowing it to function as a forklift and a crane. This dual ability - combined with the fact many telehandlers can accommodate a variety of attachments - make it one of the most versatile machines on a site.
It's used for a range of agricultural, construction and industrial tasks, including:
- Lifting and transporting loads
- Loading and unloading trucks
- Transporting crops to less accessible areas
- Moving loads to and from rooftops
